It is noted that if the requirements are met, then the founders of educational institutions and their leaders must determine the format of education in their institutions.

The decision of the Defense Council applies to preschool, school, vocational, pre-university, and higher education, the RMA noted.

"I emphasize that the availability of special shelters, the readiness of the warning system, the identification of evacuation routes, the creation of water and medicine stocks, and safety lessons on how to act in the event of an air raid are mandatory requirements," Syniehubov said.
